The Dachstein is one of the most famous mountain ranges in Austria and the Alps, located at the tri-border area of Styria, Salzburg, and Upper Austria. Its towering rock walls, which rise up to a thousand meters, the northernmost and easternmost glaciers of the Alps, and the well-developed trails make it an outstanding hiking destination. The central starting point is the municipality of Ramsau, situated on a high plateau at the foot of the Dachstein. In this book, Hannes Hoffert-Hösl explores the entire area along the most beautiful routes: 10 day hikes between mountain and valley and on the high plateau, a high alpine circuit in 4 stages around the Dachstein summit, the ascent of the summit itself, as well as 5 crossings and suggestions for long-distance hikes, along with selected snowshoe tours, making this hiking guide a versatile companion for year-round use.
